Europe grows a spine on Eurovision
Spain, Iceland, Ireland, Netherlands, Slovenia all boycotting Eurovision 2026 over Israel's participation. Spain's Sánchez leading the charge.
This is what actual pushback looks like. Not performative statements, not diplomatic hand-wringing. Just: we're out.
The claim about 95% global approval is probably inflated, but the fact that major European countries are willing to cost themselves the Eurovision platform over Gaza says something about where public sentiment actually sits, regardless of what their governments were saying two years ago.
